the Valencian Community. Masymas is committed to local or zero kilometre fruits and vegetables, paying attention to quality, but also to its origin to promote the consumption and sale of local products, as well as helping to reduce environmental impact. Since its inception, Masymas has maintained its purchasing commitment with suppliers in the Valencian Community. The beginnings of Masymas date back to 1969 when its founder, Luis Piña Núñez, opened his first distribution warehouse. In 1974, he opened his first cash and carry called EuroCash, and in 1986 he opened the first Masymas.
THE research foundation of the clinical hospital of the Valencian community, INCLIVA, has received a contribution of €5,000 from the Teulada Moraira Association Against Cancer. The donation, collected through various initiatives and events carried out in recent months, will be applied to pioneering research in the field of triple negative breast cancer.
Triplenegative breast cancer is a type of breast cancer that does not have any of the receptors that are commonly found in breast cancer.
INCLIVA, through a letter, expressed its deep gratitude to the nonprofit organisation, whose support for triple negative breast cancer research will have a significant impact on improving the quality of life and the survival rates of women affected by the disease.
INCLIVA manages the biomedical research at Valencia University hospital, as well as certain groups of scientific excellence from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Valencia and the Carlos Simon Foundation.
